Ataque Frustrado en Una Pelea De UFC Es Otra Razón Para Construir El Salón De Baile en La Casa Blanca, Dice El DOJ De Trump
- A three-judge panel for the Washington Circuit Court of Appeals is deciding whether Donald Trump is constructing the East Wing Project illegally, following a lower court ruling that the ballroom lacks congressional authorization.
- To justify the project, Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate argued the ballroom provides essential security, citing a foiled plot against UFC Freedom 250 and claiming it would "deploy drones armed with explosives in and around the event" to defend against attackers.
- Despite promises the $200 million ballroom would be privately funded, taxpayers are expected to cover $300 million for the project; critics note the structure is too small to host the White House Correspondents Dinner.
- Judge Leon called the funding a "Rube Goldberg contraption," observing that no statute gives Trump authority to freestyle a nine-figure project on federal land without Congress, leaving a "large hole" beside the White House.
- The FBI Director described the security threat as routine, contradicting the DOJ's claim of unprecedented danger, while critics note the UFC event was held outdoors in a temporary structure, not a ballroom.

Ataque frustrado en una pelea de UFC es otra razón para construir el salón de baile en la Casa Blanca, dice el DOJ de Trump
Por Devan Cole, CNN Mientras los tribunales federales ven con escepticismo la afirmación del presidente Donald Trump de que puede construir un enorme nuevo salón de baile en la Casa Blanca sin la aprobación de los legisladores, el mandatario subraya cada vez más que los presuntos intentos de hacerle daño son motivos por los que el proyecto debería continuar sin demora.

DOJ Says Threat To Outdoor UFC Fights Proves They Need A Ballroom
In April, the Justice Department wrote the court, arguing that Donald Trump needed to have the unilateral authority to destroy national monuments and build a new vanity ballroom project without any congressional oversight because attending events “on the White House lawn” was too dangerous.
